Democrats Push Back on Trump’s Claim Iran Possesses Tomahawk Missiles 📲🔥
Senate Democratic Leader Blasts Trump’s ‘Iran Tomahawk’ Claim, Demands Probe Into Deadly School Strike
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer sharply rejected claims by Donald Trump that Iran could have been responsible for a deadly missile strike on a girls’ school using a Tomahawk missile, calling the statement “absurd” and demanding an independent investigation.
Speaking on March 11, Schumer criticized Trump for suggesting that Tehran might possess Tomahawk missile and could have used it in the attack.
“Donald Trump said Iran’s Tomahawk missile carried out the strike on a girls’ school that killed 170 people, many of them children,” Schumer said. “Iran doesn’t have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump. That claim is ridiculous.”
The attack devastated the Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls’ Elementary School in Hormozgan province on February 28, the same day the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran. The missile strike destroyed the school and killed at least 175 people, most of them students.
Iran quickly blamed the United States, displaying missile fragments recovered from the scene.
One piece reportedly carried the marking “SDL ANTENNA,” a component linked to satellite data communication systems used in the latest Tomahawk missile variants. Identification numbers on the fragment allegedly show the part was supplied to the U.S. military under a 2014 procurement order.
Another fragment displayed by Iranian state media bore the label “Globe Motors – Made in the USA.”
Despite the evidence presented by Tehran, Trump said on March 9 that Iran “also has some Tomahawks” and suggested the possibility that Iranian forces might have been responsible for the strike. However, he did not provide any proof.
Military analysts note that Tomahawk cruise missiles are sold only to a small group of close U.S. allies, including Japan, Australia, United Kingdom, and Netherlands. Public defense records show that neither Iran nor Israel is known to possess the weapon.
Schumer accused Trump of making reckless statements without regard for facts.
“Once again, he says whatever comes to mind, no matter what the truth is,” Schumer said. “We’re used to the lies, but when it comes to something this serious, it’s horrifying. Not a single other official in the administration — not even Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — has made this claim.”
The Senate Democrat is now demanding a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the school strike to determine exactly what happened and why so many civilians lost their lives.
Schumer also warned that Trump’s approach toward Iran could have serious economic consequences. He pointed to Iran’s move to block the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route, which has already triggered sharp increases in oil and gas prices worldwide.
“Trump just says, ‘If prices go up, they go up — it doesn’t really affect us,’” Schumer said. “Maybe billionaires like him don’t have to worry about it. But for the rest of Americans, this conflict with Iran could mean rising inflation.”
Schumer further called on Trump, Defense Secretary Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to testify publicly before Congress and explain why U.S. forces are once again fighting and dying in the Middle East.
So far, Trump and senior administration officials have not responded directly to Schumer’s remarks. The president has stated that the United States “has won” in Iran, but acknowledged that “there is still more work to be done.”
The 12-day conflict has already taken a heavy toll. Nearly 2,000 people have died, including more than 1,300 in Iran and over 600 in Lebanon. On the U.S. side, eight American soldiers were killed and about 140 wounded, with eight suffering critical injuries.
With tensions still high, the tragedy has sparked a growing global question: Who was truly responsible for the deadly strike — and what happens next? 🚨
My Sister-in-Law Burned Me With Christmas Grease, But She Forgot My Phone Was Still Recording
My Sister-in-Law Burned Me With Christmas Grease, But She Forgot My Phone Was Still Recording
The moment I lifted the heavy Christmas roast from the oven, my sister-in-law drove her shoulder straight into mine.
The roasting pan ripped free from my hands.
A torrent of boiling grease exploded over my legs.
The pain struck before the pan shattered against the tile.
I crumpled to the kitchen floor, my scream echoing through the house as scalding oil soaked through my clothes and into my skin. While the rest of the family sat frozen in horrified silence, Meredith bent down just enough for only me to hear.
"That's what happens when you steal my brother," she murmured, her voice calm enough to be terrifying. "Next time, I'll make sure it lands on your face."
My hands were shaking so violently I dropped my phone twice before I finally unlocked it.
Agony tore through my legs with every heartbeat. Everything below my knees felt as though it had been thrown into an open furnace. My vision blurred while thin curls of smoke rose from the ruined roast lying in a lake of boiling grease, shattered ceramic scattered across the kitchen floor.
Around the dining table...
No one moved.
My husband, Daniel Whitmore, had pushed back his chair but stood frozen, trapped between disbelief and cowardice. His mother, Evelyn, still held a crystal wineglass halfway to her lips. His father, Charles, lowered his eyes to his dinner as though refusing to acknowledge the nightmare unfolding only a few feet away.
Meredith never flinched.
She stood in the doorway with the composure of someone who believed she had already won.
I pressed 911.
"Emergency services. What's your emergency?"
"My name is Claire Whitmore," I managed through ragged breaths. "I'm at 118 Briar Hollow Road in Westport. I've suffered severe burns after my sister-in-law deliberately shoved me while I was carrying a pan of boiling grease. It poured over my legs. She also threatened to burn my face next."
Everything inside that room changed.
Nobody raised their voice.
Nobody interrupted.
But the silence suddenly became unbearable.
For the first time all evening...
Meredith looked uncertain.
"Claire..." Daniel said quietly, taking one cautious step toward me. "What are you saying?"
I met his eyes without blinking.
"I'm telling them exactly what you all just watched."
Meredith forced out a brittle laugh.
"She slipped," she said quickly. "She's in shock. She doesn't know what she's saying."
I tightened my grip around the phone.
"No," I said, every word deliberate. "You rammed into me on purpose. Then you told me this was punishment for stealing Daniel away from your family."
The dispatcher calmly instructed me not to cover the burns, to remain where I was, and to wait for the paramedics.
Only then did Daniel finally seem to wake from whatever had paralyzed him.
He rushed toward me and reached for my arm.
I jerked away.
"Don't."
The color vanished from his face.
"Claire... I didn't realize—"
"You heard me screaming."
At last Evelyn lowered her wineglass.
Even now, irritation outweighed concern in her voice.
"Claire, please. This is a family matter. Don't make this any worse."
Despite the fire consuming my legs, a cold laugh escaped my lips.
"A family matter?" I repeated, making sure every word carried clearly through the phone. "Your entire family stood there while I begged for help."
Something inside Meredith finally snapped.
"You pathetic little parasite."
The dispatcher spoke again, calm and measured.
"Is the person who assaulted you still inside the residence?"
"Yes," I answered, never taking my eyes off Meredith. "She's standing about ten feet away from me."
Meredith stepped forward.
Daniel instinctively moved between us.
Outside...
The piercing wail of approaching sirens grew louder with every passing second.
For the first time since I married into the Whitmore family...
I watched every trace of certainty disappear from the faces gathered around that Christmas table.
Then the front doorbell rang.
And in that exact moment...
I remembered something that sent a surge of adrenaline through my body despite the unbearable pain.
My phone had never stopped recording.
